*Mitch's P.O.V.*

I walked into Jerome's room and found him still snoring in his bed. I picked up a pillow and was about to throw it at him when I froze. He was so cute when he slept. His face looked relaxed and he looked totally stress free. Wait. What am I talking about? I threw the pillow as hard as I could. Jerome woke up with a startled yelp.

"It's two in the afternoon. How late did you stay up?" I asked him, amazed one could sleep so late.

"Ugh. Th-th-th-three," his words were interrupted by a massive yawn. I sat down on the edge of his bed.

"What did you stay up so late for?" I asked, genuinely curious. His brown eyes met mine and for a second neither of us moved or spoke.

"Just thinking of things, you know?" He replied, still looking at me. I nodded, grinned, and got up.

"Well, get up. Be ready in 30. Meet and greet, remember?" I said, leaving. Before I did, I threw one last pillow at him.

"Welcome, welcome, welcome everybody!" Adam's voice rang through the air. "We're all just going to hang out for now, then we're going to do a vlog, then we're going to hold a q&a!" The screams of the fangirls/boys were shattering as we headed into the crowds. To be honest, I was kind of scared of being trampled. I felt a hand on my shoulder and started. Turning around, I realized it was Jerome. I gave him a  weak smile.

"Wanna stay together? I don't like the looks of this crowd. Too big. Bigger then we've ever had," he said nervously. I nodded. I heard a sharp squealing behind me and turned to see a girl of about 14 staring at me and Jerome.

"Is Merome true? Omg, omg! I have to tell Katherine about this!" I looked at her strangely.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, causing her to turn red. She looked at us for a few seconds and finally answered.

"Merome? You know? Your's and Jerome's ship name?" She said, looking amazed we didn't know what it was.

"Ship?" I inquired.

"Relationship name. A lot of people believe you guys would be adorable and perfect together," She explained. I could feel my face heating up. I stole a glance at Jerome and found him trying to contain his laughter. Why was this funny to him? Did he not agree? I muttered a quick 'thanks' and made my way through the crowd, Jerome trailing after me.

"M-mitch? Jerome?" I heard a small and quiet voice to my right. Turning towards it, I discovered a girl about the age of nine.

"Do you... well, do you think you could sign this for me?" She asked, looking at me with her big brown eyes. I smiled and nodded, taking the small notebook from her. On the front in sparkly silver letters was the word, 'Autographs.' Flipping through the pages, I see each one of them has a name or two in careful print.

"I want to try to get autographs from everyone in that book," the small girl pipes up. I grin at her, realizing that I was important enough to go in her special book. I took the pen out of the rings of the notebook and flipped to the middle, where I expected my name to be. After flipping around for a few seconds, the girl, beet red, said, "First page."

I flip to the first page and there I was. Mitchell Hughes. Jerome's name was right beside mine. I signed in my most extravagant signature possible and handed the book to Jerome, who added a little side note.

'Good luck with the rest of your signatures!'

He handed the book back to the girl who muttered a quick 'thanks' and rushed towards the stage, where Ian and Jason were. I watched her blonde pigtails disappear into the crowd.

Do I really mean this much to people?

"Okay, guys! Now for the blog for the people who couldn't be here today," Adam proclaimed, giving a silly sad face. The crowd laughed, but settled down as Ty took the microphone.

"Okay, you're going to have to be abso--," he broke off, clearing his throat, looking a bit pained, "Sorry about that. Okay, like I was saying... absolutely silent while I explain this, or you'll do the wrong thing. We need a few volunteers," Ty said, looking around as people's hands shot into the air. I went into the crowd along with Quentin and Ian to get ten people.

The first person I sought out was the little girl with the autograph book. Once I pulled her along, I started grabbing people at random. Once I got my ten, I herded them towards the stage. Ty positioned them so that the camera could see them and not the crowd in the background.

"Lights! Cam-er-a!" Jason sang. "Action!" we all yelled together. Ty started the video.

Hello, guys. Deadlox here, and---," he was cut off by Adam screaming like a lunatic as he jumped into the view of the camera.

"Horrible turnout!" He cried, turning the camera towards the thirty people we had grouped up. I stepped in front of the camera.

"Yep," I agreed, grinning as I turned the camera to the actual crowd, which went crazy. Adam sidled into view again and threw a stick of butter into the crowd, which got ten times louder as they decided who got to keep the butter.

"What the heck, Adam?!" Jerome and I screamed at the same time, amused but also confused as to where the heck Adam got a stick of butter. Jason stepped in front of the camera.

"Anyways, this is the biggest turnout we've ever had! I'm so sorry if you missed it, but remember, we travel. We will, most likely, go to your area. Stay tuned! Peace!"

"Bye!" We all added and I turned the camera off. Jerome took the microphone and started to talk. The crowd went silent again, their feuds over the butter forgotten.

"Time for the QnA! We want questions about us. Not questions about what we record with or what chair we sit in while we play Minecraft. Fun, silly questions that both you and I can enjoy! Each person will answer five questions." He joined the others at the table we were sitting at. I was first, so I got to choose the first question.

"Mitch, will you and Jerome always be friends?" Jerome and I exchanged glances before saying simultaneously:

"Indubitably!" The crowd rippled with laughter as Jerome and I flinched backwards at the sound of our voices booming across the park we were at. The volume was really loud on these speakers! Immediately, my mind went back to the question. I half sighed. Hopefully more than friends sometime soon. I snapped back to reality when I heard the gasps echo throughout the crowd. Every eye was on me and Jerome, who was staring at me, cheeks tinged pink and mouth agape.

"W-what? What did I do? What happened?" I questioned. Then it hit me. Did I think that out loud? Did everybody hear that? I felt my cheeks go aflame and it was getting harder to breath by the second. All of the sudden, a hand grabbed my hand and sparks flew up and down my arm when I looked into the chocolate brown eyes of Jerome.

"Calm down, Mitch. Deep breaths. In. Out. There you go," he said in a soothing tone. I sat there for a few seconds, regaining my breath. As I did so, the audience started clapping. I watched them, confused at the jumble of words flying my way.

"Merome! Support! Okay! We! Love! Still!" I grinned, my heart swelling at the sight of my fans, still loyal. I turned towards Jerome and saw him staring at the ground.

"Jerome?" I question. He looked at me cautiously.

"There's... There's just one problem, Mitch. I have a girlfriend."

"Oh."
